Pierre

Herman Melville, 1852

MELVILLE, Herman (1819-1891). Pierre; or the Ambiguities. New York: Harper & Brothers, Publishers, 1852.



First edition of Melville's seventh book, the story of Pierre Glendinning, his fiancée Lucy Tartan, and his illegitimate half-sister Isabel. Its poor reception, followed first by the equally unsuccessful Israel Potter and then The Confidence-Man, would represent the nadir of Melville's writing career. BAL 13666.



Octavo. Original purple cloth (spine a bit dulled, some rubbing and fading to covers); modern chemise and slipcase.
